Looks pretty and light, but Ducati & Ford seems an odd pairing.

I do like the bike.

I'm right with you on the choice of bikes and cars, the 'pairing ' comment was just a reaction.

I've always liked the blue/orange Gulf GT40 livery and that is a beautiful bike in every respect [clap] [clap]

Wish it were mine !

I think these two bikes (in Raux's and DUC900S's respective pics) show the strong contrast between a well executed scheme and an not-so well executed one.

Love the Moto Motivo.  Don't like the GT40.  Not one bit.  Looks labored and stuck together the way the Tuetuls make bikes: force an idea onto a frame.  The Black engine with the tan seat with the Gulf colors with the tiny cans with the Desmo/Ducati text on shiny metal covers--it's all just too much.   More harmony in the Moto Motivo.

if it's any consolation, the gulf racing livery wasn't limited to fords...
